Completed in 1975 on the banks of Segrate’s lake, the Palazzo Mondadori reveals itself as a transparent box that seems to float above the water. Vast parabolic arches rise to support its weightless geometry, merging strength with lightness, monumentality with grace. In this harmony of concrete, glass, and nature, Niemeyer shaped one of his most iconic European works_ an architecture suspended between earth and sky, silence and reflection.
